    The staff did an adaptive sports event for our Boy Scout Troop. The boys loved it and learned a lot.

    The large open space was a great location for the event we were participating in. Staff were very cordial and helpful. Will remember the location for future events.

    The safari topiaries are amazing. The Cafe has great food. The sweet potato fries and the vegetarian reuben were quite tasty.

    My grandson plays wheelchair Basket ball here at there gym . They offer other sports and games for disabled children as well. Disabled people are often left out and don't get to enjoy the things able people take for granted. This is 2024 let's see more accessibility.

    Still small but many yoshino cherry blossom trees. Can't wait to come back a few years later when they grow bigger.

    Do not like the fence they put up around the Palm House front Veranda nor ugly buildings facing Broad Street- they should've put themon the other side!

    This is an excellent place where I workout. The staff is excellent and well trained and the people who frequent the center are also wonderful. The site takes cleanliness and sanitization seriously...which is well appreciated. This facility welcomes veterans...This is where Chalmers P Wylie VA Medical Center sent me.

    I was there for a gathering of friends. It's normal use seems to be as a sports & recreation pavillion. The sports items were raised to make it one big open space. We had tables & chairs set up for food & dinning. We had plenty of space for music & dancing as well as an area for the children to play in. It was very accomodating for an informal dinner with a large guest list. There was free parking too.

    Asian festival was smaller and poorly designed. Had drummer less than 50 yards from ladies performing on a different stage for example. Could barely appreciate their performance. Food options were okay. I miss the tent with the kind of ladies cooking homemade foods. Most of the displays did not have attendants. Of the ones that did some had people too busy with their heads buried in their phones to talk or they knew nothing and were literally warm bodies sitting there. After 2017 and 2018 I do not see us returning. It was missing a certain passion it had even 8 years ago. It used to offer variety and lots to learn. Now it feels like it is vendor centered. Most is vendor trash you can get at any event. Of course we go to the festival to buy windows or a new bathroom. At least those folks were trying to talk to you and get you interested. Very sad.

    I haven't been to Franklin Park in several years, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a ton of new areas I'd never explored. If you're looking for a place to walk around, get some fresh air, have a picnic, or just take the kids to run around and play, this is the place!

  • 5/5 Ami L. 3 years ago on Google
    Columbus is so fortunate to have nice places like this for families. Some of the best things in life are free!

  • 5/5 Gaby L. 3 years ago on Google
    I liked it. I wish I wore water proof shoes for the mini waterfalls

  • 5/5 Basil G. 3 years ago on Google
    Adventure center staff has always been great, we were allowed to use some space on one side of the gym for a large art project during one of the basketball practices. Really helped us out!

  • 5/5 Katie Q. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a man harassing Us, my daughter and I, we called the police, and they never came. We finally had to leave the park to get away from this awful character.

  • 5/5 Phil T. 3 years ago on Google
    What a beautiful place. Will visit again for sure.

  • 5/5 Brad S. 3 years ago on Google
    This park is beautiful in every season. I do not like the fence, souronding the public sculpture. I used to be able to walk right up to it. I Do not like the subject of this sculpture, however if one looks beyond the subject and can enjoy the form it is a master work I love it; and sad I can't visit it the way I used to. You have to be a member or purchase a ticket to get in. First Sunday of the month free.
